Woman charged in drunken driving crash injury

HULL – A woman was in jail Monday after the truck she was driving crashed near a Portage County campground and a man she was ordered not to have contact with fell out of the back of the truck, prosecutors said.

According to Portage County Assistant District Attorney David Knaapen, deputies were called to a report of a red truck that had crashed near Jordan Park that sustained heavy damage and was facing a tree around 7:46 p.m. Saturday. Deputies were told the occupants of the vehicle had fled the scene following the crash.

Deputies found Clark inside another car at the campground, and while officers were talking with her, a deputy spotted Harold Drewa, 34, of Stevens Point, one of Clark's passengers, hiding in the woods, Knaapen said.

Officers arrested both Clark and Drewa after deputies discovered they both face child neglect charges and were ordered by a court not to have contact with each other.

Clark had a blood-alcohol content of 0.215 percent when tested on the scene, Knaapen said.

Portage County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Flugaur ordered Clark be held on a $500 cash bond and that Drewa be held on a $300 cash bond.

Both will make an initial appearance in Portage County Court on Aug. 4.
